Northumbrian, Grumpy old Sapper, old books, desert travel & Bletchley Park are my passions. Grew up in 🇨🇾 and lived in 🇩🇪 as a young man. I ❤️them both.

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."
Read that again: **116** times.

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary BBC Singers
have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. Conducted by David Hill.

The name "Foxy Stoat" is a direct reference to Bottom, one of our favourite shows ever! In this, Richie is workshopping what to write in a lonely hearts advert
